Henry Gillingham joins StarStone as head of War & Terrorism

Global specialty insurer StarStone has appointed Henry Gillingham as head of war & terrorism in its crisis management division.

Gillingham, who will be based in London, will join in the first half of 2020, once his contractual obligations have been fulfilled.

Gillingham joins from Talbot Underwriting, where he most recently served as a senior terrorism, political violence and war underwriter. He has more than 15 years of experience in the insurance industry and began his underwriting career at Talbot in February 2004 as a hull & war underwriter.

Chris Rash, StarStone International chief executive, said: “War and terrorism cover is a core component of our maturing crisis management portfolio, and we are fortunate to attract someone of Henry’s calibre. His deep sector expertise perfectly matches our ambition to develop sophisticated specialty products built on experience and strong relationships.”
